Editing Talk:2141: UI vs UX

<!--Please sign your posts with ~~~~ and don't delete this text. New comments should be added at the bottom.-->

The comic as a whole is making fun of how meta software developers get about the user experience, seeking to name all the different types of interactions a user can have with an app or webpage. 
This comic is massive for me on my desktop (chrome); I wonder if this is a joke about bad UX or if it is a genuine error? [[User:Fwacer|Fwacer]] ([[User talk:Fwacer|talk]]) 18:50, 24 April 2019 (UTC)

:It's not this big on xkcd.com. Did it start this big and got fixed on the original site? Update: replaced with the image from xkcd.com which was much smaller. [[User:Cgrimes85|Cgrimes85]] ([[User talk:Cgrimes85|talk]]) 18:55, 24 April 2019 (UTC)

::Looks like it is fixed now, but yes it was also that big on xkcd.com initially. [[User:Fwacer|Fwacer]] ([[User talk:Fwacer|talk]]) 19:19, 24 April 2019 (UTC)

To me, it comes across as a hyperbolic play on the common confusion between the meaning of UI and UX. [https://twitter.com/sdw/status/709853249407361024] [[User:Ahiijny|Ahiijny]] ([[User talk:Ahiijny|talk]]) 19:06, 24 April 2019 (UTC)

It makes sense that it would be alpha and omega, but I originally thought it was the "proportional" symbol. I only ask because alpha is lowercase and omega is uppercase, although perhaps this was to avoid confusion with the Latin "A".

:Concerning the lowercase/uppercase difference, since alpha is the beginning and omega is the end, then consider that in the beginning we are born little and then grow up - we start out as lowercase and end up as uppercase.

This is a joke on integration, yes?[[Special:Contributions/172.69.68.129|172.69.68.129]] 19:33, 24 April 2019 (UTC)
: "The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice" -- I guess the big in the comic being about the arc of the moral universe can reference the fight against segregation and thus for integration...
:: I meant mathematical integration...

I'm happy with the explanations I just added for everything but "Life's experience of time" -- does anyone know what that phrase is from? [[Special:Contributions/172.68.133.54|172.68.133.54]] 05:48, 25 April 2019 (UTC)

On what level are those idiots who say "user doesn't need this setting, it would only confuse him"? -- [[User:Hkmaly|Hkmaly]] ([[User talk:Hkmaly|talk]]) 22:20, 25 April 2019 (UTC)

Why has Randall chosen this particular set of characters?  Why Z? Why alpha and omega - the first and last letters of the Greek alphabet, used in the bible quote "i am the alpha and omega" i.e. the beginning and the end, but what link with the subject?  Or is it just a sequence of increasingly improbable characters from latin through Greek, then glyphs then unprintable glyphs..?

:UX comes after UI in the alphabet, and so Randall first extended that to the last letter of the Latin alphabet, then Greek. Infinity then also makes sense, but I don't know about the bullet. [[User:Oliphaunt|Oliphaunt]] ([[User talk:Oliphaunt|talk]]) 09:08, 26 April 2019 (UTC)
:Other than being the last letter of the Latin alphabet, I can't come up with any other meaning for "Z" to represent something in psychology. As for the remaining symbols, I think alpha might represent the "a" in actualization or the beginning of the user's awareness or life because alpha represents beginning.  Since Omega means the end, this likely represents the end of the user's life, which determines the length of the arc of their life. I believe the infinity symbol is a reference to how time looks to the typical life of a user, since it extends well before and after a user's life. Lastly, I think the black circle might represent a view of morality as either a black hole or a dark subject. This is just my impressions.

My initial thought was that the black circle represents the "black point message" that crashed apps like whatsapp a while ago.  I never saw it personally but Tom Scott did a video on it last year.  It might be a commentary on how understanding of the universe's moral arc could be considered untouchable/unobtainable. [[User:Blik|Blik]] ([[User talk:Blik|talk]]) 14:30, 26 April 2019 (UTC)
:I took the black circle as a Black Hole - that changes the arc of everything in the Universe! [[User:John.Adriaan|John.Adriaan]] ([[User talk:John.Adriaan|talk]]) 02:14, 29 April 2019 (UTC)

Hmm.  It looks like UY got skipped.  The study of the user's motivation and goals.  Like UI and UX, it's a real thing.  But that's really the job of concept or marketing.

It has been tried out in movies and proven in some reality [https://cbsecure.co.uk/gaias-protocol-rewiew/	Gaia's Protocol Review ] cases, that practicing the conversation with yourself in front of a mirror, helps get the goosebumps out. This way, you get familiar with the phrases to use and since practice makes perfect, you will be match at ease with what you have tried out over and over again. The response may be negative, which may not be your fault. Nevertheless, the goal here is to come out courageous and walk away tall after the rejection. You never know, the lady may be having a bad day or is plainly just rude.

Another observation of blushing is common during a discussion on a certain topic. You will bear witness to the fact that one is bound to blush when they do not have all the information. It is perfectly normal for each party to argue to put their point across, but what happens when you have no idea what everyone is fussing about? You feel left out and find yourself drawing the map of your country with your toes, with your head down. Suddenly, the friend you have always wanted to impress shows up the no worse time. Embarrassing isn't it?

Fake tan has become the secret of looking as gorgeous as you feel you should be. It has helped many have the illusion of having longer limbs, slimmer figures and skin tones that are to die for and of course a glow that is simply stunning. This and many other benefits that come in the spray tan can have left many hiding behind it to look all gorgeous every single day of their lives or during those special occasions when they need to stand out from the rest.One of the secret tips that you need to know especially when thinking of taking a self tan at home is choice of the right tanning formula. You need to ensure that you go for a color that matches with your natural skin. You can however deepen the tan especially if you have skin that is already tanned ensuring that the difference is barely visible.
